Highlight for us as we are avid hikers was Laguna de los Tres. The entire trail is scenic and the view from the top is otherworldly. A common reply from friends we sent photos to was "that doesn't look real" and they were right. The landscape is so dramatic at times that it seems unnatural...surreal. One surprising thing for us was how much we wore the buffs that Swoop sent before the trip. When we got them we thought they were strange and so thin that they would be of little use. We were wrong. We used them almost every day and they have become our new favorite piece of gear!

The trek was extremely challenging, both physically and mentally. The landscapes are incredible. The people I met were likeminded and a pleasure to be with. I think, the terrain was the biggest surprise in terms of the difficulty levels associated with ascent/descent and underfoot.

A tie between reaching the top of the Britanico hike and enjoying a beer and the sun at the Central campsite.

The trip was an adventure and to see such beautiful scenery was breathtaking. The people of Patagonia were extremely friendly and helpful and without question getting up close and personal with a Glacier was a truly memorable moment. The shear scale of nature in the raw is a beautiful thing to see

In Torres del Paine, it is a toss up between the first day with Joaquin & the driver (who was super but I don’t remember his name) and our last hike with Matthias. Bothe experiences were fantastic. The guides were excellent. It was mind-blowing.

Our whole trip was wonderful, but we especially enjoyed riding to the outposts from Estancia Nibepo Aike. We felt like gauchos staying in the rustic outposts with Sophia making us feel at home. We had a slight change of plans due to weather but it was all good.

Highlights include that each day was a totally different visual delight. Having done a fair amount of hiking - you can drink all of the water and it is icy! What I tell everyone is "You need to do this hike. Eight days of being off the grid and fabulous scenery. " Additional highlight for those of who have humped our stuff - the food is great and plentiful"

Full Paine excursion with Joaquin and Alejandro -- stunning scenery, terrific background info from Joaquin about the park, its history, geology, wildlife, etc., and lovely, end-of-day surprise snacks and drinks with both guides.

Hard to describe one moment. Certainly, paddling out to the glacier with the guide, but also going through the "shortcuts" to avoid the wind were so peaceful and an opportunity to view wildlife.

Each hike, or kayak, or horseback ride gave us the chance to experience a beauty unlike any I have ever seen.

Definitely, the capable, superior and quality guides. Virginia at El Chalten and Jose and Michele at Tierra Patagonia provided outstanding treks! In our opinion, they are the gold standard.

The first view of Los Cuernos del Paine. The second is the first hike (16Km) on the Cuernos side.

Its hard to pick out one thing, but I would have to say watching the sun rise over the towers was amazing a long crazy hike but there was a full moon made it even better.

There were many memorable moments but probably the most memorable was the first day's hike to Laguna de los Tres - just geeting there gave us a great sense of accomplishment, the views were marvelous, and our guide was excellent.

Highlight was summiting on day 5 and seeing the glaciers. The landscapes were incredible, and we finally saw guanacos on the last day. The people were very friendly and welcoming of trekkers, and I appreciated their hospitality. I would tell my friends that they need to put this on their bucket list.

My trip was amazing. The weather was exceptionally good with rain only 1 day. The mountains and granite peaks are unlike any other mountain region I have seen. There were some long days of hiking, but always balanced with a following less demanding day! We saw wanaco, little foxes, woodpeckers and various other birds. I really was hoping to see a puma but that is quite rare. The group we had was great. Everyone had wit and humor that make the hike all the more enjoyable.

The landscapes and the scenery are out of this world. We had a great guide in Lalo. Well organized and went to plan
